FRP BRidges

Prefab FRP Trussed and I-Beam Bridges

Areté Structures is not just a bridge supplier. We help guide your project from conception to completion. Our sister company, Areté Engineers, can provide engineering services from preliminary design through construction management.

Precision CNC Parts: Human error is eliminated when parts are fabricated by a CNC machine.

Fiber reinforced polymer

Fiber reinforced polymer or FRP is manufactured by a process called PULTRUSION which uses glass strands that are pulled through a die and embedded in a polymer, making a strong, durable product that can be used in multiple structural applications.

Advantages of FRP

Pre-fab trussed and i-beam FRP bridges are an ideal solution for remote pedestrian crossings or in locations where low maintenance is desired.

Light weight: Compared to steel, FRP is approximately a quarter of the weight, making it ideal for remote locations where all the bridge components could be carried to the construction site by hand.

Can be assembled by “unskilled” labor: All individual bridge parts are prefabricated and ready to assemble on site.

Economical choice for remote locations.

Corrosion resistant: Material is extremely durable

Moderate span lengths: Span lengths of of up to 100 feet are achievable.

FRP Decking

FRP decking can be used on all types pedestrian or light vehicle bridge. Decking could be used for any number of uses including boardwalks, decks, mezzanines, stair treads, etc. Advantages of using FRP decking is that they are maintenance free, corrosion resistant and have a high skid resistance.
